           ** SETPARAMS **

  SETPARAMS allows you to set up values
for :-

     Disc drive stepping rate
     Write precompensation
     Screen mode
     Autoboot mode

  The first two of these  are specified
by the drive manufacturer.

  The built-in drive has a step rate of
6 mSeconds with  write  precompensation
on. These are automatically selected at
power-on,  as  are  the default  screen
mode  of 6 and  the  autoboot  mode  of
"Autoboot  on  SHIFT BREAK".  If any of
these values are to be changed ( to use
a slower  drive,  or autoboot  on BREAK
rather than  SHIFT BREAK, perhaps) then
SETPARAMS should be run.

  SETPARAMS  will  prompt  you for  the
appropriate parameters and then  create
a file,  $.BootParams, which  should be
*RUN  or  included  in  the  !BOOT file
for  the  required  effects  to  become
operational.
